    Floyd is still unbeaten and was still fighting at the highest level
    Well into his late 30s whereas most guys had long since retired.

    Leonard, Ali, Tyson, Jones were all getting beat up in their late 30s
    You obviously want to see Floyd get beaten but it'll never happen
    50-0 with hundreds of millions in the bank. He doesn't need Crawford.
    If the greats picked and chose their fights to the extent Floyd did and breaks he had in between, they would be fighting until they were 41.

    Forget Floyd, his records will be surpassed and he will be forgotten. His legacy is nothing compared to the real great fighters.

    Eh Floyd is 41 years old which is pretty much being a 1000 in this sport he cashed out with Conner and he is done. Crawford is the future though which is nice because i was not so sure how it be when big guys left.

    Boxing moves on and if it can find great fighters after Ali and Leonard then it can certainly find them after Floyd.

    So why the fuck do you keep talking about him? Because while you keep banging on about him, he remains relevant and boxing doesn't "Move on"!
    Let it fucking go ffs.

    There are a million threads about him and you comment on every single one.
    And you can't see what you're doing.... by continually commenting whether good or bad, you are increasing the legacy! Has any Boxer ever been talked about as much, positive or negative?
    Because it goes on and on , fence sitters turn around and say "fuck me, like him or not, he must've been something special for all this fuss!"
    And then they say "fuck ! He was 50-0 , MAYBE he was TBE?"
    Elementary dear Watson.😂

    That is the most illogical and dumbest post ever.

    Leonard did take breaks between fights
    And actually fought ten times less than Floyd.

    The man won belts in five weight divisions
    And had over 20 world title fights (all of which he won)

    I'm not saying Floyd is the greatest of all time (he isn't)
    But he's still a great fighter and nobody can argue that.

    That doesn't compute with @Master, he sees the words 'Mayweather' and 'great fighter' and automatically goes on the defensive and thinks that people are saying he is the greatest man ever to lace up a pair of gloves.

    Leonard took breaks because he was injured not for contractual reasons.

    But what does that have to do with Floyd?

    A bitch? I personally wouldn't go that far, he's done quite a bit in his own field MMA and that's fine, he's just not a boxer.

    What does that have to do with Floyd? Well Floyd was the one who made that fight instead of any other fight out there soooo yeah that's on HIM, he was "The Decider" and so now everyone can go and look back and see his record and they'll see the good, bad, and ugly of his career and they'll see McGregor and they'll say "What the fuck was that about 49-0-0 vs 0-0-0?!?!?"

    Ok so basically a thread about IF..... Crawford called out Floyd, when he actually hasn't done it, and probably won't.

    Us boxing fans are a rare breed indeed.

    McGregor hasn't even defended a title in his own sport
    He's a good (maybe very good) MMA fighter
    But he's got a way to go before he can be called great.

    As for Floyd, he is great in his own sport
    Who cares how he finished his career? Nobody will care
    Because most fighters finish their careers getting knocked out
    Mike Tyson quit against Kevin McBride for fuck sake!
    When people talk about Tyson they don't bring up Kevin
    So when people talk about Floyd why would they bring up Conor?
